URBANIST (NAP), a winner at Punchestown for Shane Nolan on New Year's Eve 2017, joined Richard Newland and won two of his three starts over fences. He's on a 17lb lower mark over timber and his rider claims 5lb so should take some beating. Vitudurum has been in decent form at this level though over much shorter while Little Token is best at this trip and has conditions to suit. Inagh's Gift hasn't proved she stays this far but Moyode Lady's only success came over 3m around here so she'll be suited by a stamina test. Grey Habit had shown very little before a surprise victory over 2m4f at Fairyhouse in January but she hasn't been seen subsequently.
